Ingredients

1 tablespoon

olive oil

2 tablespoons

butter

3 cloves

garlic

8 cups

mushrooms

white wine

1/2 cup

stock

1 cup

heavy cream

salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons

tarragon

toasted country bread

Instructions

Heat the oil and butter in a large, sturdy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and mushrooms and toss once or twice. Cook the mushrooms, without stirring, until they begin to color and to release their moisture. Continue cooking the mushrooms until all of their water evaporates.

Carefully add a generous splash of white wine to the pan; cook for 1 minute. Add the broth and the cream and cook, stirring, until the cream thickens slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper; stir in the tarragon. Serve over toasted country bread brushed with olive oil and a green salad on the side.
